Bed Bug Busters Of Ottawa

This is another employment program offered by Rideau Social Enterprises in the area of pest management. It was started in 2011 and is funded by Ottawa Public Housing till 2015. Contrary to popular opinion bed bugs and their droppings can be seen with the naked eye. Adult bed bugs are approximately the size of an apple seed and are reddish brown in colour. They are oval shaped and flat with six legs. They have two antennae and short golden body hair. When looking for a bed bug infestation use a flashlight and look for black spots (fecal matter), shed bed bug skins, and red blood stains on your bedding and/or pillows. Although bed bugs can hide anywhere, start your inspection where they feed. Inspect the following.

Mattress and box spring

Bedding and pillows

Bed frame and head board

Baseboards close to your bed

Any furniture or items close to your bed

Another way of knowing you may have an infestation is identifying bed bug bites. Although initially painless, the bites can turn into relatively large and itchy welts on your skin. It is worth noting that not everyone reacts to bed bug bites.
